The atmosphere on the God of War was a little strange. Seeing Han Jin, Gao Bin, and the others step onto the deck, no one came over to greet them. Clearly, there was something more interesting that attracted everyone's attention.
That's right, he was sitting in a heap. His body seemed to have lost his spine and was limp. If one had good eyesight, they would be able to clearly see that Hallman's body was trembling slightly. In fact, the weather today was not very hot. Furthermore, the God of War was a world of its own and was not affected by the weather. However, Hallman was sweating non-stop. His forehead, cheeks, and the tip of his nose were all covered in sweat. Although one could not see Hallman's back, his chest was completely drenched in sweat. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was sweating like rain. Hallister, who was sitting opposite Hallman, was grinning from ear to ear. At times, he would gently stroke the contract in his hand. At other times, he would raise his head and look at Hallman with a mocking gaze.
In the middle of the deck, there were dozens of chairs. The chairs at the front were filled with gold coins. From left to right, the number of gold coins gradually increased. The last chair was already filled with gold coins, but the chairs at the back were empty. There were also a few well-dressed people standing beside the chairs, looking at the empty chairs with dull eyes. They were the people that Hallman had brought along, and only they could understand Hallman's current feelings. As for the others, they were just there to watch the show. After all, there was a difference between those who were close to him and those who were not …
Morrisons gave Han Jin a thumbs up and then broke into a huge smile. In fact, when Han Jin stated his conditions, no one present realized how huge the number was. Different dimensions naturally had different civilizations. This world was dominated by elemental civilizations. Everything that the heroes did and thought about was to make themselves or their own race stronger. Although there was primitive mathematics, it was mainly used in daily life. It was hard to imagine that there would be anything that required the use of 'billions'. Who would calculate how many grains of wheat the people in their territory consumed in a year?
The gold coins were quickly used up, but Hallman's people did not give up. They wanted to know the exact result. When they realized that the 'value' of a chair was almost equal to the total value of the Chamber of Commerce, there was no point in continuing the calculation. However, one of the clever people had an idea. He returned the numbers to one and used the total value of the Chamber of Commerce as a unit to continue the calculation. Soon, the unit exceeded 'ten thousand'. What was even more frightening was that there were still some chairs that had not been calculated. Everyone was stunned.
It could be said that Hallman was the biggest failure of a businessman in recorded history. A business that was supposed to be profitable had caused him to suffer a double loss. Even if he had the long life of a dragon and no longer ate or slept, and spent all his time working hard to earn money, he might not be able to pay off this unimaginable debt on the day he died.
Apart from Hallman's people, the others were not too sensitive to numbers. However, they knew that ten thousand Chamber of Commerce was far from enough. What kind of concept was this? It could only be said that someone was too evil …
The proud Hallister raised his head and saw Han Jin slowly walking towards the stairs. He hurriedly stood up and shouted, "My lord!" He had never admired someone as much as he did at this moment. Perhaps it was because he was weak, but he did not like violence. Han Jin had become his role model. With just a few words, without any bloodshed, without paying any price, the enormous Chamber of Commerce was about to be reduced to nothing. More importantly, Hallman had accepted the terms of the agreement. Who else could do that?
Hallister's voice startled Hallman. He turned around and saw Han Jin. He immediately jumped up from his chair and ran towards Han Jin, shouting, "My lord, this can't be …"
"Hallister, has President Hallman paid us in full?" Han Jin ignored Hallman.
"It's far from enough!" Hallister purposely emphasized this sentence.
"My lord, I can't … I really can't …" Hallman begged. He knew that Han Jin did not want to force him to his death. Perhaps he had done something that displeased Han Jin, so he wanted to teach him a lesson. At this point, he no longer cared about his reputation. The more he bowed, the more likely Han Jin would forgive him.
"You think the agreement is a little unreasonable?" Han Jin asked with a smile.
"This …" Hallman did not know what to do. It was not just unreasonable. Since the dawn of civilization, this was probably the most unreasonable agreement, but he did not dare to say it out loud.
"I told you before I left. If you want to change the agreement, you can go to Hallister directly. You don't have to come to me," Han Jin said.
Hallman immediately realized that it was because he had offended Hallister. He hurriedly turned around and rushed towards Hallister, repeatedly calling out, "Lord Hallister … Lord Hallister …"
"What's the matter, President Holman?" Hallister asked in an unhurried tone.
Han Jin smiled and shook his head. He slowly walked down the stairs. At this point, there was no need for him to intervene. Hallister should know what he was trying to do.
Actually, Hallman could only blame himself. Hallister had been imprisoned by the Vatican for so many days. Han Jin felt guilty and wanted to make it up to Hallister in other ways. However, Hallman did not take Hallister seriously because of his experience and qualifications. He was basically asking to be humiliated.
"What's going on?" Gao Bin and Sunier were confused. They had been staying in the camp to protect Qi Li for the past few days. They had no idea what was going on.
Morrisons immediately jumped over when he heard Gao Bin's question. Sassoux and Léger were visiting Depew City, so he was the only one left here. He felt lonely and had no way to express himself. He had been holding it in for so long that he was going crazy. Now, he finally had the chance.
Morrisons started from the beginning. Of course, he had to start from the beginning. He only needed a few sentences to finish. What else was there to express? Gao Bin and Sunier listened attentively. When Morrisons reached the point where it was impossible to calculate, Gao Bin and Sunier looked at each other.
"That much?" Gao Bin said in surprise.
"Haha, we haven't calculated the final result yet. However, President Hallman's butler said that even if all the gold coins in the world were brought here, it would still be far from enough." Morrisons smiled happily as if everything was his doing.
"Raphael … is too cruel!" Gao Bin did not know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at Hallman with sympathy.
"Luckily, President Hallman did not lose his mind. He saved himself," Sunier said softly.
"Why?" Gao Bin asked, confused.
"When signing the contract, if he did not insist on bringing all the magic crystal cannons from Isolated Cliff City here and write off all the previous debts to balance out the profits of both parties, then he … would really be finished," Sunier said slowly.
"You mean, Raphael might have insisted on fulfilling the contract?"
"Very likely."
"He wouldn't be that cruel, would he?" Gao Bin was shocked.
"I know him." Sunier sighed softly. "He always said that every life has to be responsible for their own choices. President Hallman chose to reject greed, so he really won Raphael's trust."
Gao Bin's eyes flashed. No one knew what he was thinking.
"He never interfered with other people's choices, just like … when I wanted to leave him and return to Wild Willow City." Sunier lowered her head slowly. "Now I know that he must have been very disappointed at that time, but he … always likes to hide his thoughts deep in his heart. Actually … if he insisted on not letting me go back, I …"
"You wanted to go back to the temple for the illusion trial!" Gao Bin said. "How can you compare yourself to Hallman? You wanted to improve your strength and become his true partner! "
"I hope he can understand me …" Sunier forced a smile.
In the corridor, Yalina finally couldn't help but ask, "Raphael, what's wrong with President Hallman?"
"He doesn't want to live anymore." Han Jin smiled. "Because that contract will bankrupt him."
"What?" Yalina opened her mouth in shock. "If he gave us gold coins according to the contract, how much should he give us?"
"I didn't calculate." Han Jin shrugged. "But I know that even if we found all the gold mines in the world and made them into gold coins, it would still be far from enough."
Yalina was dumbfounded and couldn't say anything.
"What are you thinking about?" Han Jin turned around and suddenly realized something. He lifted Yalina's chin with his finger. "When we went out just now, you were in a daze. Were you calculating how much we should get?"
"No!" Yalina denied flatly, but her face was a little red.
"Dishonest children are not good children." Han Jin smiled.
"I'm not a child!" Yalina said coquettishly.
Han Jin smiled, then remembered something. "Oh right, Yalina, I forgot something. Go find Sunier and bring Qi Li and Sylvia here. There's no need for them to stay in the barracks anymore."
"Oh." Yalina nodded. "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to meditate." Han Jin said, "I'm going to Cold Shadow City in a few days. I don't know if I can convince Chesam, so I have to make some preparations."
"Do you want me to go with you?"
"Harley and I will be fine." Han Jin smiled. "Don't worry, even if something happens, we can still escape."
"Okay." Yalina didn't harp on this issue. She knew that Han Jin's magic was a bit special, and any strong person who was with Han Jin could become a burden to him. "Then I'll go find Sunier."
"Okay." Han Jin nodded.
Doing his best and preparing for the worst had always been Han Jin's style. If something happened, he would escape. Han Jin didn't need to prepare anything. But did he come to Cold Shadow City to negotiate with Chesam just to show off his ability to escape? No, he did it to form an alliance with Chesam.
To deal with an anomaly like Chesam, using emotions and reasoning wouldn't be very useful. The most effective way was to use overwhelming force to intimidate Chesam without hurting his self-esteem.
Back in his room, Han Jin kept thinking. He already had enough vital energy to release a high-grade dao spell, but the problem was that he couldn't hurt Chesam's self-esteem. A psychopath wouldn't care so much if he went crazy, so there was no way he could form an alliance with Chesam. Plus, he had already hurt Chesam once.
He didn't know how long he had been thinking, but someone knocked on the door. Hogan's voice came from outside, "Master?"
"Come in." Han Jin turned over and sat up from the bed.
Hogan pushed open the door and walked in with a longbow in his hand. The longbow was blood-red in color and the back of the bow was slightly twisted. The entire design was simple yet vigorous. Hogan then respectfully placed the longbow on the table. "Master, it's done."
"Didn't I tell you that this bow was made for Sunier?" Han Jin couldn't help but frown. "How did it end up like this?" This kind of bow was suitable for men, and in the hands of the beautiful Sunier, it looked a bit strange.
"This …" Hogan's body shrunk a little. "The craftsman told me that this is the only way to maximize the strength of the bow."
"Forget it, let Sunier use it for now. We'll talk about it later." Han Jin picked up the bow, gently stroked the back of the bow with his fingers, and then pinched the bowstring.
"Master, the bowstring is made from eight strands of dragon tendons. Apart from a true great elf, no one can truly control this bow." Hogan said.
"The bow isn't important, the arrow is the most important." Han Jin said lightly.
"Master, why don't you let Miss Yalina make this bow? Her alchemy skills have already surpassed mine. "
"Idiot, this is for Sunier, and you want me to go find her?"
"Miss Yalina wouldn't be so stingy," Hogan laughed. "Look, didn't she make a set of dragon scale armor for Sunier?"
"It's one thing for her to be willing to make a set of dragon scale armor for Sunier, but it's another thing for me to find her and ask her to make one for Sunier." Han Jin glanced at Hogan. "Even I don't dare to say that I understand women. Do you think you do?"
Hogan was stunned. He seemed to have thought of something and lowered his head. After a moment, he forced a smile and said, "Master, I want to use the remaining dragon blood wood to make a magic staff. Is that okay?"
"Use whatever you want," Han Jin said. "I still have a lot here."
"You still have … a lot?" Hogan was shocked and couldn't help but ask, "Master, did you … find a dragon blood tree?" The dragon blood tree could only grow in a dragon's tomb. There were only two dragon's tombs in the whole world, one in Dragon City and the other in Dragon's Field. Dragon City and Dragon's Field were forbidden areas, and the dragon's tomb was the forbidden area of the forbidden area. If one had the ability to challenge more than ten ancient dragons at the same time, of course they could take the risk. Otherwise, it was better to be honest. Hogan had never heard of anyone who could enter a dragon's tomb and come back alive.
"No." Han Jin smiled. "I got these from a trade."
"Master, then I … really have to make a magic staff for myself?" Hogan asked.
"Why so much nonsense?" Han Jin said. "The dragon blood wood is not very useful to me. If I don't give it to you, who else can I give it to?"
Han Jin's tone was a little impatient, but Hogan felt extremely warm. He lowered his head. "Understood, Master."
Han Jin stretched out his hand and a purple light shot out. The longbow floated up little by little under the impact of the purple light and floated in the air. At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open and Yalina walked in. "Raphael, Qi Li and Sylvia are already on the ship. Why don't you go and take a look … Huh? What are you doing? "
"I …" Han Jin hurriedly withdrew his divine thoughts and stretched out his hand to call back the purple light. He laughed dryly. "I'm making a bow for Sunier. Yalina, you know that Sunier has just unlocked the Mark of God and can't fight for long. If she really meets a strong enemy, she can only shoot two arrows at most before she's at the mercy of the enemy, so …"
"Oh, then I won't disturb you." Yalina smiled sweetly. Although she said she wouldn't disturb him, she didn't leave. She still stood there quietly and looked at Han Jin.
Hogan felt that something was wrong and whispered, "Master, then I'll go out." He didn't wait for Han Jin's permission and hurriedly left.
Han Jin wanted to finish his' work 'first and then comfort Yalina, but from the corner of his eye, he saw that Yalina had taken out the golden hammer and was gently stroking the crack on the magic crystal with her fingertips.
"Yalina …"
"I won't disturb you. I'll just stand here for a while." Yalina raised her head and smiled sweetly again, but her eyes were full of desolation.
Han Jin reluctantly took the longbow and put it on the table. "Yalina, come here!"
Yalina gently bit her lips. After hesitating for a moment, she walked over.
Han Jin sat on the chair and without any explanation, pulled Yalina over and put her on his lap. "Yalina, I know about your magic staff … Actually, I've wanted to help you for a long time, but my magic is completely different from yours. I don't know how to make a magic staff, I really don't know!"
"I didn't say anything," Yalina whispered. "Go on with your work. Don't let Sister Sunier wait."
Not saying anything was worse than saying something! Han Jin had a headache. He suddenly felt envious of Solomon. Solomon could use his absolute strength to maintain harmony in his family, but he couldn't. Yalina had some possibility of being 'reformed', but Sunier's character was unbending! If Yalina was a young lady from the old society, she would follow her husband wherever he went. Sunier, on the other hand, was a modern professional woman. She needed to be respected as an equal. Therefore, in this regard, he could only look up to Solomon with admiration.
Yalina's magic staff was half-destroyed. She really needed help more than Sunier, but the problem was that he really didn't know how to make a magic staff.
Han Jin sighed. He didn't know what to say.
"Are you afraid that I'll be angry?" Yalina suddenly said, her eyes blinking as she stared at Han Jin.
"What do you think?!" Han Jin said helplessly.
"Hehe …" Yalina pouted and kissed Han Jin hard on the cheek. In fact, she didn't have to be on the same level as Sunier. As long as Han Jin cared about her, it was enough to make up for her disappointment.
